Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Romance and Tragedy of Banking: Problems and Incidents of Governmental Supervision of National Banks Some years ago at a banquet given by the Bankers' Association of the District of Columbia, I sat next to an eminent jurist of the District Bar. During the course of the evening our conversation drifted to the subject of the Currency Bureau and its management, and after relating to him some of the difficulties and situations which frequently confront the Comptroller of the Currency in his supervision of the national banks, he remarked that there must have come to my knowledge during my long connection with the service many incidents similar to those related which would make a very interesting narrative if assembled in book form. This suggestion, therefore, is responsible for the publication of this volume, and is my apology for writing it. It is not an essay on banking and currency, nor a discussion of financial or economic theories. It is simply a narrative of events of more or less importance and interest in the history of the National Currency Bureau with some original deductions and comments. It contains many unvarnished truths, plainly told, with no attempt at literary excellence. It deals with men and measures, methods and motives in connection with the administration of the bureau, with no intention of contrasting one administration with another or of drawing invidious distinctions between them. It endeavors to right some wrongs where injustice has been done and to correct some erroneous impressions as to the powers and duties of the Comptroller of the Currency. In May, 1886, I was tendered and accepted the position of Secretary to the Comptroller of the Currency, by William L. Trenholm, of South Carolina, who a month previously had been appointed Comptroller. I was sworn in and entered upon the discharge of my duties May 16, 1886. Thus began a period of service in the Bureau of the Currency, which continued uninterruptedly for more than thirty-six years, undisturbed by political or other changes in Federal, departmental or bureau administration.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Romance and Tragedy of Banking, Vol. 2: Problems and Incidents of Governmental Supervision of National Banks He first entered the service of the Federal Government as private secretary to Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Curtis, under President Cleveland's second administration, and later was appointed chief of the organization division in the office of the Comptroller of the Currency. In September, 1898, he was appointed Deputy Comptroller of the Currency. He retained this place ten months and resigned on June 27, 1899, to accept the position of trust officer in the Trust Company of America, of New York City, a new organiza tion. He remained with this company three years and then became secretary and trust officer of the Central Trust Company of Illi nois at Chicago, organized by Charles G. Dawes, former Comp troller of the Currency, who was president of the company. He resigned this position to accept appointment as Assistant Secre tary of the Department of Commerce and Labor in January, 1904, and continued in that position until appointed Comptroller of the Currency. His only banking experience was that of trust officer in two trust companies, the principal duties of which were to pass upon the legal form of papers. His appointment as Comptroller was purely a personal one on the part of President Roosevelt. Mr. Murray qualified as Comptroller April 28, 1908, but on account of the condition of his health he did not assume active charge of the Bureau until September 2 following.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is widely believed that central banks have grown (the Bank of England) or were established (the Federal Reserve) to pursue the twin objectives of monetary and price stability. But why should they? Central bankers are people, too, whose behavior is presumably determined, like the rest of us, by their incentives and the information available to them. The author explores this question.
Download or read book Taming the Megabanks written by Arthur E. Wilmarth Jr and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-18 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Banks were allowed to enter securities markets and become universal banks during two periods in the past century - the 1920s and the late 1990s. Both times, universal banks made high-risk loans and packaged them into securities that were sold as safe investments to poorly-informed investors. Both times, universal banks promoted unsustainable booms that led to destructive busts - the Great Depression of the early 1930s and the Global Financial Crisis of 2007-09. Both times, governments were forced to arrange costly bailouts of universal banks. Congress passed the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 in response to the Great Depression. The Act broke up universal banks and established a decentralized financial system composed of three separate and independent sectors: banking, securities, and insurance. That system was stable and successful for over four decades until the big-bank lobby persuaded regulators to open loopholes in Glass-Steagall during the 1980s and convinced Congress to repeal it in 1999. Congress did not adopt a new Glass-Steagall Act after the Global Financial Crisis. Instead, Congress passed the Dodd-Frank Act. Dodd-Frank's highly technical reforms tried to make banks safer but left in place a dangerous financial system dominated by universal banks. Universal banks continue to pose unacceptable risks to financial stability and economic and social welfare. They exert far too much influence over our political and regulatory systems because of their immense size and their undeniable "too-big-to-fail" status. In Taming the Megabanks, Arthur Wilmarth argues that we must again separate banks from securities markets to avoid another devastating financial crisis and ensure that our financial system serves Main Street business firms and consumers instead of Wall Street bankers and speculators. Wilmarth's comprehensive and detailed analysis demonstrates that a new Glass-Steagall Act would make our financial system much more stable and less likely to produce boom-and-bust cycles. Giant universal banks would no longer dominate our financial system or receive enormous subsidies. A more decentralized and competitive financial system would encourage banks and securities firms to fulfill their proper roles as servants - not masters - of Main Street businesses and consumers.
